Mediated Metacognitive Meditation

For this final assignment, I decided to take a look back at the very beginning of our class. As I have stated numerous times over the course of this semester , I strive to one day work in the entertainment industry. The most likely course of action for me to take is to become a writer, but I am also extremely interested in the world of directing films. Because of this, as part of my first module for this course, I decided to tackle what is perhaps the most basic form of directing, creating a GIF. Once again I have used the GIF sharing website Giphy to create a variety of GIFs from my favorite movies. Although small and extremely simple to make, there is something about creating these GIFs that makes me feel good. Perhaps it is the fact that I am able to inject a bit of my own creativity into these GIFs that makes them feel like small works of art, small works of art that I directed. I understand that this may sound silly, but perhaps this is a sign that I truly would enjoy directing a film one day.
